A rental-property filer and a Schedule C freelancer need different rooms of expertise. A business owner starting an S-corp needs someone else entirely. Our directory sorts firms by the work they actually focus on — not by what their website says they could do.
W-2, 1099, Schedule A through C — the returns that fill a filing cabinet. Best for salaried earners, freelancers, and anyone whose return fits on ten pages or less.
LLCs, S-corps, partnerships. Quarterly estimates, K-1s, depreciation schedules, entity-level strategy — and the people who file Form 7004 before the deadline, not after.
Audits, back-tax debt, liens, Offers in Compromise, innocent-spouse relief. Enrolled Agents and CPAs who have read more IRS letters than greeting cards.
Year-round books, QuickBooks cleanup, monthly close, 1099 prep, payroll filings. The infrastructure behind a clean tax return, done twelve months a year.
Multi-partner firms handling tax, advisory, and attest work under one roof — the shop a growing business graduates to when the one-person preparer becomes a single point of failure.
FBAR, FATCA, Forms 2555 and 1116, tax-treaty positions. For Americans abroad and foreign nationals filing stateside — a small world of preparers, most of whom know each other.
Match the return to the specialty, not the other way around:
